Dear **** head
I am writing to remind you about the sporting events which will be held across London’s road network on the first few days of the Games.
Don’t get caught out
Motorists should avoid driving in central London and around Games venues from 15 July and be aware that Olympic Route Network (ORN) restrictions apply from 25 July. On road event days, road closures will be in place from early morning and you will not be able to drive close to or across the race routes. If you intend to travel in the area, you are strongly advised to plan ahead.
Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 July
The Men’s and Women’s Cycling Road Races will run from central London to Box Hill, Surrey and back, via Fulham, Putney, Richmond, Hampton Court, Weybridge, Woking, Dorking, Leatherhead, Esher and Kingston.
Road closures will apply from 0300. The ORN will operate during this event. Some parts of the ORN will be closed and an alternative ORN route will be in place.
